a woman stood on downtown street
corner yesterday and made it exceedingly
pleasant for the boys for an hour or two.
She was from Dakota and she carried the
territorial stamp in her face and figure.
She was tall and square. Her frame was
sparSely covered with flesh. and through
the tightly fitting sleeves of her dress the
muscles of her arms Swelled ont like
French rolls. Her face was a strong one.
A heavy. but not unshapely, nose. a large,
but well curved, mouth. High cheek bones,
broad forehead, sharp black eyes, raven
hair and fair skin, well Drowned with the
heat OF the sun and the warm spring winds.
Taken altogether, she was not a bad look
ing specimen of wOmanhood, but her chief
points of attraction were square pieces of
pasteboard stretched across her back and
breast, on which We're printed in broad
characters the following words:

AT A ROYAL RECEPTION.

In the interesting article on the queens
drawing room, printed in the last Sunday
Herald. little was said of the actual cere-
mony of royal reception. The deficiency is
supplied by the following account of her eX-
perienceS at the last reception, and written,
as the reader will perceive, in charming
style by young English lady. At all or
binary parties, she says, it Is fashionable to
come in late, but when royalty entertainS 1t
is the correct thing to arrive before you are
invited, and the longer you are i'll waiting
the greater is presumed to be your loyalty.
When the queen announces her reception at
5 O'clock you ought to be already in your
carriage at 1:30, sitting outside the palace
until the royal door is opened. AS an eager
crowd of sightSeerS thrOng all approaches,
it is little trying to sit an hour or so with
a line of noses pressed against the carriage
windows. while an ever falling shower of
criticisms on '''er dress aSSaiS the ear.
When further remarks about ser 7ead' are
added one feels the critics are more per-
Sonal than pleasant Our moment OF tri-
umph comes, however, at last, when the
barriers are withdrawn and the carriage
dashes through the archway, followed by
eager eyes that would fam penetrate the UNI
known wonders hidden behind that dull i'm
passive front of palace wall. AS the car
rage vanshes from public view it enters an
inner court, formal and cherries. saye4f for

spite OF its rich decoration. Along one side

The Accommodation Bustle.
MISS SWAYBACk,
SOUL AGuNT.


On table near her this woman had dis
played her goods in fantastic array. The
bustleS were of simple construction, con-
sSting of broad steel bands, bent in the
form of the baskets usually carried by fish
ermen on their excursions, covered with oil
cloth This basket or hustle was covered
on top by lid that opened and shut on
hinges like TIE lid of an ordinary hamper,
and TO il bands were attached with which it
could be fastened around the wearer's
waist. the hustle resting in its proper posi-
ton. Over this the skirts could be draped
and the effect OF an ordinary hustle given.
These contrivanceS were OF various sizes,
suitable for girls and women of all ages,
and could be made very convenient by the
1earerS While out shopping, as several
small packages could be slowed away in
them and carried without inconvenience to
the Wearers.
Miss Swayback, the agent, wore one of
these bustles, of which she claimed to be
the inventor, under her skirts and every
ten minutes she would amuse the husbands
and fathers who had gathered around her by

the feelings even Of those indifferent 10 him;
but when he touched the sensitiyeness Of a
friend he was more panied than the one
whom he offended.
But though no one at that time spoke TO
him with the same freedom as Rawlins, for
no one else Of the staff had been with him
SO long and under the peculiar experiences
OF his early campaign, still the whole at
mosphere of the headquarters was intimate
and az times familiar. Grant conyersed
with great outspokenness with all. He
liked joke, either 10 tell one himself
or 10 hear good one; he liked TO gossip
about old West Point friends. and 10
tell about his earlier battles. He always
joined the circle around the campfire at
night, and his presence seemed no re-
straint, except that, because Of his own
purity Of conversation, no one ever told,
while he was by, the sort Of stories
that are often common around camp-fires.
Grants purity indeed was not confined TO
language In all my intimacy with him Of
twenty years, in camp, al Washington, or
abroad, never saw the slightest indication
OF irregularity of life in regard TO women. 4
opened all his letters for years, and not one
was ever addressed TO him that intimated a
lapse or threatened disclosure.
Yet though he was thus familiar he never
betrayed a secret, military orpersonal, that he
meant 70 withhold. He would stop short in
conversation at once If a question was asked
that might lead 10 more than he was ready
10 unfold. He could keep his own counsel
better than any man ! ever knew and yet
not seem TO be restraining himself
For Grant was a man Of much deeper
emotions than he revealed. Sometimes /
have thought that he had just as much am
bItion and even vanity ms any one else, only
the marvellous faculty of concealing both,
aud at any rate he was not stolid because he
was serene. If. indeed, he was full Of de-
signs under his mask ofimperturbability and
indifference, his intellectual quality was all
the greater to be capable both Of the
restraint and the designs And who shall
say that he had not right TO keep his own
plans and intentions 10 HIMSELF II In this
way he deceived II was not his fault,
but that OF the lookers-on. He did not pre-
tend, he did not simulate. Bismarck, they
say, deceives most completely when he tells
the absolute truth, and Grant had not few
traits in common with Bismarck.

An Oswego IN. W mechanic, who has
just returned from Panama, where he
was at work for the canal company. says
that employees are being buried daily 10y
hundreds. Three trains are run out OF
Aspinwall each day bearing bodies of
dead employees. which are taken To a
place called Monkey Hill. These
three trains bear three classes Of corpscs.
The first is known as dumps those
who have neither friends nor money.
The second train contains those who die
at work. h third contains those whose
friends can pay for II decent burial. At
the burying ground a long trench is dug
and the bodies are dumped in and cov-
eIcd over with two or three feet of earth.
The great objection TO the food is the
manne of cooking. Everything is
cooked with onions. They are found in
the soup and hash, and the beefsteak is
smothered in them. Even the tea and
coffee taste and smell of onions. The
employees Of the American Dredging
company always receive pay in silver
issued 10y the Chilian government, and
each dollar is worth about sixty-hvo
cents. Two Oswego men have arrived
home to-day thoroughly disgusted with
Panama. Several others are at Aspin-
wall suffering with fever.-New York

age She was tho happiest of the lot, and

presents. The air was frosty, and ON the

had fallen in the morning was still on the

about the little girl above mentioned cx-
cept that she wore neither shoes nor

appear TO suffer from tho cold. and when
the other children went to slide on ice in
